"The Blimp" by Captain Beefheart

     Don Van Vliet's parents moved from New York to California, and carefully selected a house in a good school district so that he would not fall in with the wrong sort of people.

     Van Vliet met Frank Zappa.  Need I say more? That is Frank speaking at the beginning and the end of the recording.
